About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

Let's Go Find El Dorado is a physics-based remake of Oregon Trail which plays a bit like Excite Bike, created by Justin Smith (Enviro-Bear 2000) as an entry for the 16th Ludum Dare competition. The rules of the game is similar to the original, though many of the resource management elements were either simplified or removed completely for this arcade-oriented version.

Your objective here is to guide the family wagon to the city of El Dorado safely, and to achieve this goal you will have to navigate treacherous mountain range, cross polluted rivers, and brave the dangers of visiting native tribe camps that might assist or impede your journey to the promised land.
